An interview / profile of Jack Barsky, a former spy for the Soviet Union’s KGB, assigned to the United States during the last years of the Cold War, with the aim of infiltrating President Jimmy Carter’s White House. Barsky, born Albrecht Dittrich in East Germany, was recruited by a Russian KGB agent. Failing at his original mission, he then worked at MetLife in IT, where he stole IBM source code for the Soviets. He also led a double life, with a wife and son in Germany and a wife and daughter in the United States. Recalled by the KGB in 1988, he made the decision to stay in the U.S. with his daughter. He lied to the KGB by telling them that he was dying of AIDS. He had another child, a son, and settled down with his family in Mount Bethel, Pennsylvania. The FBI started observing Barsky, and in May of 1997 had gathered enough evidence to question him. After the interrogation, the FBI concluded that his spy days were over and that he would be most useful in supplying information as to how the KGB operated. He now lives in upstate New York as director of software development for an undisclosed company that manages New York’s high-voltage power grid. Also includes interviews with: Joe Reilly, former FBI agent; and Chelsea (last name not disclosed), Barsky’s daughter.

An interview with former Xerox executive Mary Quin, a dual citizen of the United States and her native New Zealand, who was taken hostage while sightseeing in Yemen in 1998. As her tour group drove through the Yemeni desert a truck full of terrorist gunmen, led by Abu Hassan, forced her convoy to stop and they were kidnapped. During a shoot-out between the kidnappers and the Yemeni army, Quin was able to wrestle a gun away from one of the terrorists and escape, but four of the tourists in her group were killed. Quin investigated the kidnapping and discovered a radical Islamic cleric, Abu Hamza, was working with the kidnappers in Yemen because he wanted his stepson released from a Yemeni prison. Quin flew to London and approached Hamza at his mosque. Hamza allowed Quin to record their conversation, which she later gave to the FBI. In 2014 in New York, Hamza stood trial and Quin testified against him. In January 2015, he was sentenced to life in prison without parole.

The surviving U.S. soldiers maintain that this faulty targeting system was responsible for the incident. Also includes interviews with: Woody Studenmund, father of Scott Studenmund, a Green Beret Staff Sergeant who was killed in the friendly fire attack; and Jeffrey Harrigian, former Air Force Major General.
